Use the following procedure to deploy the Rapid Recovery Agent to multiple machines on any type of host other than the local Core, Active Directory, vCenter/ESXi, or Hyper-V.
CAUTION: If AppAssure Agent was previously installed on a Linux machine, then before installing Rapid Recovery Agent, remove the AppAssure Agent from the machine using a shell script. |
For information on removing the Agent from a Linux machine, see the topic "Uninstalling the AppAssure Agent software from a Linux machine." To successfully deploy the Agent software to Linux machines, see the prerequisites in the topic "About installing the Agent software on Linux machines." These topics are found in the Rapid Recovery Installation and Upgrade Guide.
1. |
On the Rapid Recovery Core Console, click the Protect drop-down menu, and then select Deploy Agent Software. |
2. |
3. |
4. |
On the Machines page of the wizard, enter the machine details in the dialog box in the format hostname::username::password::port. Examples include: |
5. |
If you want to restart the machines automatically after deployment, select After Agent installation, restart the machines automatically (Recommended). |
6. |
If Rapid Recovery detects any concerns during automatic verification, the wizard progresses to a Warnings page, where you can clear machines from selection and manually verify the selected machines. If the machines you added pass the automatic verification, they appear on the Deploy Agent to Machines pane.
7. |
The Rapid Recovery Agent software deploys to the specified machines. The machines are not yet protected. Protection begins after you complete Protecting multiple machines manually.
Once you have deployed the Rapid Recovery Agent software to two or more machines simultaneously, you can verify the success by viewing each machine listed under the Protected Machines menu.

The Summary page for the selected machine appears, showing pertinent information including:

Enter the name of the agent executable file. The default is Agent-web.exe. | |
Enter the number of minutes to wait without activity before timeout. | |
A protection schedule defines when backups are transferred from protected agent machines to the Rapid Recovery Core.
Rapid Recovery provides a default protection schedule, which includes a single period spanning all days of the week, with a single time period defined (from 12:00 AM to 11:59 PM). The default interval (the time period between snapshots) is 60 minutes. When you first enable protection, you also activate the schedule. Thus, using the default settings, regardless of the current time of day, the first backup will occur every hour, on the hour (12:00 AM, 1:00 AM, 2:00 AM, and so on).
Selecting periods lets you view the default protection schedule and make adjustments accordingly. Selecting a daily protection time causes Rapid Recovery Core to back up the designated protected machines once daily at a time you specify.
When you modify or create a protection schedule using the Protection Schedule dialog box, Rapid Recovery gives you the option to save that schedule as a reusable template that you can then apply to other protected machines.
When protecting one or multiple machines using a wizard, you can initially pause protection, which defines the protection schedule without protecting the machines. When you are ready to begin protecting your machines based on the established protection schedule, you must explicitly resume protection. For more information on resuming protection, see Pausing and resuming protection. Optionally, if you want to protect a machine immediately, you can force a snapshot. For more information, see Forcing a snapshot.
